Jo Koy’s first time hosting the Golden Globes didn’t resonate with the celebrities in the room and drew criticism from viewers on social media.
The comedian has been slammed for his not-so-funny jokes aimed at many celebrities during Monday night’s event.
Diedre Hall Slams Jo Koy Over Her Not-so-Funny Golden Globes Jokes
Immediately after Koy finished her hosting gig, actress Deidre Hall immediately took to social media to express her disapproval of a joke she made during the 81st Golden Globes Awards.
The actor, who is famous for his role as Dr. Marlena Evans on “Days of Our Lives,” shared her thoughts, writing, “The Globes Globes host, Jo Koy, is an absolute disgrace to herself and the Academy. Skip.”
The sentiment seemed to ring true as fans agreed, voicing their thoughts in the comments section of the Facebook post. While one wrote, “Very much agree. Worst host ever,” a second posted, “Agreed, very unprofessional and very embarrassing,” and a third repeated, “He’s totally unfit for this job. I agree 100%.”
“Did you see he was so nervous he didn’t have saliva in his mouth AND he kept saying I wrote some jokes and the writer wrote the others. The whole show sucks. I don’t know half of the ‘stars’ and I haven’t seen any of the movies,” revealed a fourth fan. Similarly, the fifth recalled:
“We turned it on for about 5 minutes trying to observe the man. I didn’t know who he was and my husband said he wasn’t funny and the audience wasn’t laughing either and we changed the channel.”

Koy kicked off the 2024 ceremony with an opening monologue that referenced Hollywood’s Ozempic craze and interwoven jokes about films nominated for awards.
The stand-up comedian jokingly suggested that “Oppenheimer” needed “an hour more” and described “Barbie” as a movie about “plastic dolls with big b-es.”
While that statement drew unamused looks from Margot Robbie and the film’s director, Greta Gerwig, the biggest mistake of the night came when Koy realized the audience wasn’t on her side. In an effort to lighten the mood, she referenced singer Taylor Swift’s well-publicized performance of support for her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, saying:
“As you know, we come after a football double header. Big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. At the Golden Globes, we had fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift, I swear.”
While Koy quickly issued an apology to the “Bad Blood” hitmaker who responded to the sarcasm by sipping her drink, Swifties didn’t hesitate to slam her, with one pointing at X, “That landed with a giant thud and a death glare. from Swift . Not Jo Koy’s best moment.”
“The joke wasn’t funny, and I’m sure that’s what he reacted to, but the way I see Swifties reacting to this is ridiculous. They acted as if he personally insulted her when he didn’t. It’s a well-worn joke about over-saturation. It’s a dig at the NFL, not him,” wrote a second user.

A third fan claimed, “Poor Taylor Swift, between dating an NFL star, having the biggest concert tour ever, and being the person of the year, I love her so much.”
Jo Koy Opens Up About Swift’s Reaction To Jokes About Her Relationship
Given the backlash, The Blast noted that Koy addressed Swift’s comments after she made a joke about herself and her soccer player. Speaking on the matter, the University of Nevada dropout stated:
“Aww, man, that’s cute. I’m just saying it’s cute. I’m just saying it’s less cutting, that’s all.”
Before the drama, Swift herself touched the NFL’s laser-focused coverage every time she showed up at a football game to support her man. As he said:
“I don’t know how they knew the suite I was in. There’s a camera, like, half a mile away, and you never know when a camera puts you on air, so I don’t know if I’m shown 17 times or once.”
Doubling down on the reason for his presence, which was to “support Travis,” the “You Belong With Me” singer and songwriter emphasized, “I don’t have the awareness if I show up too much and maybe piss off some dads. , Brads and Chads.”
